THE MONEY SHE HAD QUIETLY PUT AWAY FOR A
RAINY DAY.
The New York Times OF yesterday says; Nat C..
Goodwin few days ago discovered striking IL
lustration OF the affection OF his dead wife, Eliza
Weathersby In looking over the securities in her
vault in the Equitable building he came across a
sealed envelope. Opening it, he found therein a
registered Il per cent United States bond for 900
and 500 bond OF the same kind unregistered
Upon the face OF the larger bond was written
Eliza Goodwin, trustee" There was nothing to
show for whom Mrs. Goodwin was trustee Mr.
Goodwin went to the United States sub-treasury
Office, in Wall street, and found that the bond
was registered there merely to his wife as trustee
Upon talking the matter over with his mother.
1n-laW and his SSter-in-law, they threw consider
able light On Ii. They had often heard Mrs. Good
win say, when he had sent money to her, that she
was going to surprise Nat some day with pres
ent, and in order TO do it edectually she would in
vest the mOny in a Government bond, which she
would keep until bad luck should come upon him,
when she would produce the bond and say NAT
you are not broke after ALL" The day OF bad luck
never came, and she therefore never said anything
about the bond. 1t is supposed that the 800 bond
represents the interest received on the s. 600 bond
Yesterday, upon the relation OF the facts in the
case, Judge DOnohue ordered the termination OF
the trust on the bond, and Mr. Goodwin, being
his W1fe'S reS1duary legatee, becomes the owner
Mrs. GOOdw1n's estate amounts to about $4,000
Mr.. Goodwin has paid his mOther-in-law, Mrs
Eliza Smith, the 50 600 which his wife left to her

CHURCH AND CLUB.
Members of DR.. NeWman's Church
Recommended TO Withdraw from a
Social Organization.

The Official board OF the Metropolitan NJ E.
church has adopted resolution recommending to
the members OF the church who are mem beers of a
social club formed in the church, and known as
the Witmore Club, that they should withdraw
from that organization. The reason assigned for
this action is that the club is sort of irritation
In the church, and the withdrawal of the church
members would tend to harmonic matters 1t is
further stated by members of the Official board
that the club was not properly organized, because
the Onicfary OF the church OF the church was not
consulted in its organization, the discipline re-
qu1reS, and that many OF The members are not
church members. 1t is also claimed that the ten
dency OF the club has been TO array the young
people against the Older people, and that in the
entertainments given by the club the pastor, Dr.
Newman, and his wife, and the older members Of
the club have not been invited Or recognized.
IT Is STATED on BEHALF OF THE CLUB
that DIR. Newman Is hostile to it because it was
organized under his predecessor DR.. Huntley, and
that he wants lyceum organized merely because
1t is his suggestion Some OF the members or the
club say that they have been rendered the use OF
large hall by friend, and that the club has now
become purely secular organization ana is not
connected with the church.
II Is claimed by members OF the church that the
recent change in the choir to a uuartette has
nothing 10 do with the trouble with the Witmore
Club.
When DR.. Newman returns to the city it is
thought that the ofncia. board will make public
statement OF their action in regard to the club the
substance OF which is given above.
WHAT A MEMBER OF BOTH CHURCH AND CLUB SAYS
A member OF the club, and also OF the church
stated to STAR reporter this morning that the
whole affair comes from the Influence OF a former
pastor and the indiscreet talk OF members Of the
club, VINO have asserted that they hold the bal
ance OF power in the sunday school, and could
carry any measure they thought proper to unite
upon. There has however, been no claShing with
the pastor, DIR. Newman, save he has repre-
sented the official board, and there has been no i'll
feeling or opposition 10 the organization. The
club Is composed in part OF persons not members
OF this church, nor OF any church. and the simple
Tact is that the official board has adopted reso-
lut1on recommending that the club Join church
iycelln- This Is not mandatory, but simply q
recommendation, and the pastor, DIR. Newman
recommended this action OF the official board to
some OF the members OF the club. Most III not
ali, OF the members Of the club who are members
of The church, he said, are good terms with the
pastor.
